Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

Balance

Biodex Stability System will be used to measure overall stability index, anteroposterior stability index and mediolateral stability index.

Time frame

Up to 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes

Functional Capacity

Six-minute walk test will be used for measuring functional capacity. It is a sub-maximal test of aerobic capacity, in which the subjects walk as far as possible in 6 minutes (min.) around a premeasured distance.

Time frame

Up to 12 weeks
